Dont let yourself get into this situation the next time you’re making your favorite noodles for pasta night.
The amount of water you use to cook pasta is important in preventing the noodles from sticking together.
Allow Fresh Pasta To Dry
Fresh pasta can be very sticky and requires careful handling.
(Store-bought fresh pasta is usually dryer than homemade and can be cooked without additional drying).
As the water comes to a boil, add about1 tablespoon of salt.
Try Adding Oil Or Butter
Some chefs advise simply adding oil to the boiling water.
Oil can also help keep cooked pasta you are storing for later from sticking.
